When did you "wake up"?

At what age did you begin to understand racism? I was in the 7th Grade around the time Root's came out, i was never taught about it from my parents even though my Dad being from L.A. and a lot of my family being from Oakland they knew what the deal was but never really told my brothers and sisters what we would be facing as we got older.
it became clear after watching roots at such a young age, and from that day on i knew what i would be dealing with. I just wish i was taught from my parent's, The Baby Boomer generation seriously failed Generation X.
Don't leave your kids unprepared if you have any.

If Hell existed, do you think Colin Powell is there?

In case you are questioning the title, there’s been a period put on the end of Colin Powell’s sentence.

Yes, he died and I know in the past he was revered for being the “first negro” in some white institution but is that enough anymore?

Is having a Black head of the military an accomplishment when that nigga is commanding the Death Star to blow up Black people?

He was a willing accomplice in the WMD lies on iraq that killed hundreds of thousands if not millions.

So I ask, is he in hell?

What artists from the '90s were you into?

I prefer rap and hip-hop from the '90s myself, heck even the r&b had more soul to it. I am curious to see who you all were into back in the '90s. I was quite young at the start but I got into music nearing the end of the decade and ended up going back a handful of years to find my taste in music. I still find myself going back to this music since it resonated with me the most.

Have you ever had a close friend move away?

When I was younger, I had a close friend move away. I think if this had happened now, we likely would have stayed in touch thanks to social media, video chats, etc. but I was never able to get back in touch with her. She ended up marrying a guy in the military and goes state to state when he needs to relocate. I wish I had made a better effort to stay in touch but it is what it is. I only know about her marrying someone in the military because a family friend mentioned running into her a few years back. We parted ways over 10 years ago.

Have you ever had a close friend move away? Did you keep in touch with them?

ROMs and Emulators

Does anyone here play ROMs via emulators? I am building up a collection of games I had from when I was a kid. My brother basically hoarded all the consoles and games as we got older and left me with nothing. I didn't care at the time but now I want to play some of the classics and I don't have the consoles for it. Not about to spend money rebuilding the collection either. So yeah, I am working on a ROM library.
